Great Hall

Eating and relaxing in a Great Hall will significantly improve Duplicants' Morale

Requirements

• At least one Mess Table
• No Industrial Machinery
• Minimum size 32 tiles
• Maximum size 120 tiles
• Decor item: 20+ decor (minimum of 1 item with decor rating 20+)
• Recreational Building

Reward

Morale Bonus: +6

• This buff is obtained by having the Duplicants eat in the Great Hall - there is no other way to do so. Therefore, this bonus is mutually exclusive from the Mess Hall bonus.

Tips

• The Great Hall is the upgraded version of the Mess Hall. A Bluff Briar will meet the decor requirement even if you do not have an Artist duplicants. A Water Cooler will meet the recreation item requirement. These requirements are actually quite easy to meet in the early game.
  • (See screenshot #2) If the intention is for the Duplicants to just eat at this hall and not hang around in it, disable the Water Cooler and have another room with a functional Recreation machine.
• A Recreation Room can be upgraded into a Great Hall by putting an unused mess table inside it (see screenshot #1):
  • Unfortunately, in order to get the buff, Duplicants must eat their meals in the Great Hall. Hanging out during downtimes won't grant this buff.

• 

  1. A silly work-around using the immediate area around the original Printing Pod. (The pool of water was intended to trap Pacus that are printed from the Pod.)

• 

  2. Another compact work-around, which actually imparts the buff because the Duplicants are eating their meals in this room. Notice that half of the space is meant for the Carbon Dioxide-sterilized larder.
